3.4.6 — Landscaping in Rights-of-way and Easements
3.4.7 — Landscaping in Street Yards A. Calculating Required Landscape Area. Use this table to calculate the minimum amount of Landscape Area required for Street Yards, in all zoning districts. (See definitions of LOT DEPTH and STREET FRONTAGE.)
A. Landscaping in rights-of-way and easements must not interfere with the function, safety, or accessibility of any utility. 1. Within 3 feet of a fire hydrant, traffic sign, traffic signal or utility structure, limit landscaping to 8 inches mature height. B. Landscaping in rights-of-way and easements must not conflict with traffic visibility requirements. 1. Landscaping in the right-of-way of a State Highway must be approved by the District Engineer, where applicable. C. Do not construct walls within utility easements or street right- of-way, except: 1. Wall segments on column footings may be permitted across easements if determined appropriate by the City Engineer. D. Berms, irrigation systems, street furniture, or similar landscape features may be located within public street right-of-way, provided that adequate right-of-way exists, at the discretion of the SPRC.

1. On a zoning lot with street frontage on one public street , find the property's lot depth in the table, then multiply the associated lot depth factor (LDF) by the lot's street frontage (SF) in feet, to calculate the minimum required landscape area (RLA) in square feet. LDF x SF = RLA 2. On a zoning lot with street frontage on 2 or more public streets , each of which requires a landscaped street yard, take the sum of the street frontages (SFS) , and subtract the greatest perpendicular (GP) distance between the property line abutting a street and a major STREET WALL LINE. Multiply this number by the lot depth factor (LDF) (in the above table) associated with the property's average lot depth . (See definitions of LOT DEPTH and AVERAGE LOT DEPTH.) The result is the minimum required landscape area (RLA) in square feet. ( SFS – GP) x LDF = RLA
